Our New Lunar Month begins with a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in courageous, impulsive (sidereal) Aries on Thursday, May 9th at 5:29 pm pdt(Los Angeles)
(convert to your timezone)
We’ve got quite a powerful lineup in Aries as we move into our May Lunar Cycle with Pallas Athena, the Sun and Moon, Mercury, the South Lunar Node and Mars all blazing a new trail with the fiery action of (sidereal) Aries.
Do watch for competitive attitudes at home and in the work place now. No need to compete with others, just pour all of your energy into energizing your own goals and ambitions and you’ll avoid a lot of unnecessary complications and be rewarded with a sense of accomplishment.
Sometimes we need to make some compromises in order to peacefully co-exist with others at home or in the workplace. Resentment, misunderstandings and tension can build when we don’t take the time to consider the needs or perspective of others. Taking time to listen as well as share your own opinion can help rebuild and rebalance community spirit and allow everyone to feel included and heard, clearing the air and restoring the peace.
There is a lovely Grand Air (communication) Trine between visionary Neptune in “group-think” Aquarius, Devotional Vesta in youthful chatty Gemini and Saturn in the communication and partnerships of fair and balanced Libra as we enter the New Moon, to assist with this rebalance, clearing of the air and restoring the peace.
Venus has now moved on into the values, valuables and creature comforts of earthy, grounded, slow and steady Taurus.
Venus in Taurus asks the question... What do I appreciate and value?
How do I attract and acquire? Do I appreciate the beauty and abundance that surrounds me? Do I feel worthy of receiving? It can often be difficult to admit what we want, especially to ourselves.
Imagine yourself letting go of the darkness and disappointments of the past, releasing any feelings of regret or loss and walking away to a new chapter in your life. Reconnect with the magic and beauty of life. Elevate your point of view, emotions and perspective and you will find a new direction.
Picture what you want, create a beautiful vision in your mind’s eye and project it out into the world with the absolute intention of seeing it through to fulfillment.
The new moon is a time of new beginnings and new directions. A time for planting new seeds of growth. Each new moon creates a transition to a new story or adds an unfolding chapter to an existing story. What we begin now will reach a climax during the full moon later this month.
This is the perfect time to go within, meditate, contemplate, journal and do dream work. Visualize where you are headed – both spiritually and emotionally. Empty out and clear away the old to make room for the new emerging energies.
Reclaim your life and release the things that limit your progress. Allow old wounds and patterns to surface to be consciously acknowledged and released. This is a painful but necessary part of healing and growth. It is important to let go of any limiting or restricting thought patterns that you are harboring. If they are not released, they will definitely limit the potential of this month’s journey.
If plans are lined up to be carried out – begin them now. If the future still feels unclear, take advantage of this quiet time to create space and allow the possibilities to emerge.
Try and remember, this is a transitional time, and things cannot be hurried. The seeds of tomorrow are germinating and require tender care and patience.
Sending you wishes for an amazing journey of growth and discovery this month.
With Love,
Andie
